While writing a report at 3:15 in the afternoon, the nurse realizes that she forgot to chart the client's physical therapy, which occurred at 10:30 A.M. Which is the appropriate action for the nurse to take?

B The nurse should date and time an entry for 3:15 P.M., and then write 'Late entry (date: 10:30 A.M.)' before making the addition. A The nurse should ask the incoming nurse to record it. C The nurse should not add the information to the chart. She should complete an incident report for the omitted charting and forward it to the risk management department. D Because it is already charted by the physical therapists in their progress notes, the nurse does not need to 'double chart' the same information. The nurse does not have to do anything.
